Depression doesn't work like that...

It does for me at least. Getting a good job that pays well which I don't despise helped me immesurably even though I am still depressed at least I am not so depressed that I am 2 steps from offing myself anymore.

Depression can have many reasons, some are biochemical, some are due to external factors (sometimes a mix).
